Rock River Dental to host free dental care day for underserved children

In honor of National Children’s Dental Health Month, observed in February, Rock River Dental has announced it is participating in Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) day on Friday, Feb. 4. 

According to a recent press release, Rock River Dental will be offering free oral healthcare services to low-income and underserved children between the ages of 5 and 13. Services includes an exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride treatment, and any necessary dental work that can be completed in one visit. Children will also receive education on dental hygiene and a bag of supplies to take home, the release stated.  

The GKAS program began in 2001 in St. Louis, and the American Dental Association launched it nationally in 2003 as a way for dentists to join with others in the community to provide dental services to underserved children, the release stated.  

Begun as a one-day event coinciding with National Children’s Dental Health Month, the program has since grown to local and national events year-round.

Parents or guardians of children may call Rock River Dental at 920-563-4415 to schedule an appointment. 

Appointments fill quickly and are on a first-come, first-served basis, the release continued. 

Rock River Dental is located on Fort Atkinson’s south side at 1951 Commerce Pkwy.
